Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for stripping bodies, provided with a hard material layer composed of a Ti compound in an alkaline solution
- At least one acid and / or a salt of an acid At least one acid and / or a salt of an acid.
- DD 228 977 describes a process for stripping TiN layers, in particular for stripping TiN layers applied to nickel substrates.
- the parts to be treated are placed in a hydrogen peroxide solution containing 35 mass% peroxide for approx. 3 minutes at a temperature of approx. 70 ° C to 80 ° C, then rinsed in water, dried and then rubbed off.
- This process is unsuitable for stripping TiAlN layers because the TiAlN dissolves poorly in a hydrogen peroxide solution.
- titanium nitride hard material layers on substrates made of stainless steel are decoated in aqueous nitric acid at temperatures above 70 ° C.
- the stripping time for a 1 ⁇ m thick layer is approx. 50 hours at 70 ° C. This extremely long stripping time is very disadvantageous.
- a method for the stripping of hard material layers on different metal substrates is known from US Pat. No. 4,746,369.
- the acidic decoating bath consists of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer and a phosphoric acid or nitric acid together.
- Various surface-active substances are also used.
- the solution's very low pH of less than 0.5 is very disadvantageous for use on high-speed steel substrates - HSS (High Speed Steel).
- DE 41 01 843 discloses a method for stripping objects coated with hard material layers, the objects being treated with a solution containing tetra sodium diphosphate and hydrogen peroxide.
- Typical are the hydrogen peroxide concentrations from 8 to 12%, the relatively high tetra sodium diphosphate concentration from 8 to 12%, the high process temperature at boiling temperature and the high pH value from 8 to 12. If the solution is up About half of the initial volume evaporated - which happens relatively quickly at the high temperatures - phosphating of the surface that has already been stripped can occur. Titanium nitride and / or titanium nitride / carbide hard material layers are stripped.
- DE 43 39 502 discloses layer-specific processes for stripping metal substrates, in particular also hard metal substrates, which hard material have layers of either TiN, TiCN or TiAlN, or of layer systems made of TiN / TiAlN.
- An alkaline solution with hydrogen peroxide, at least one base and at least one salt of mono- and dicarboxylic acids is used.
- the solution bath is composed of a large number of components, depending on the layer material.
- High-speed steel is characterized by high carbon concentrations, up to 1.5%, and additions of strongly carbide-forming elements such as chrome, molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium. Up to 12% cobalt is found in some of the more complex grades.
- High-speed steel is so called because it retains its high hardness in high-speed applications (see DT Llewellyn, Steel: Metallurgy and Application, Butterworth-Heihemann Ltd., Oxford 1992, p. 174).
- a salt of a phosphoric acid, diphosphoric acid, triphosphoric acid etc. is understood as phosphate.
- phosphate is the phosphate "calcium phosphate” a salt of phosphoric acid, “disodium dihydrogenphosphate” a salt of diphosphoric acid, further "pentasodium triphosphate” a salt of triphosphoric acid etc.
- a salt of a phosphonic acid in particular an organic phosphonic acid, i.e. a phosphonic acid with organic substituents understood.
- the above-mentioned object is achieved in that at least one substance from the group of the phosphates, phosphonates and phosphonic acids is used for the de-coating of HSS substrates with at least one layer of TiN, TiCN or TiAlN.
- di-sodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate Na-H 2 P 2 0 7 and / or penta-sodium triphosphate (Na s P 3 O 10 ) is preferably used;
- phosphonic acid methylenephosphonic acid
- 1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonic acid
- phosphonic acids are introduced directly into the solution as such. This applies generally for the use of phosphonates, phosphates and phosphonic acids.
- the process temperature of the solution bath is kept at 20 ° C to 80 ° C, if necessary by heating and / or cooling (the range limits are included);
- the peroxide concentration is chosen between 5 and 50% by weight (the range limits are included);
- the concentration of phosphate and / or phosphonate and / or phosphonic acid is chosen between 0.1 and 10% by weight (the range limits are included);
- the solution preferably consists of distilled water, hydrogen peroxide, the base mentioned, for example NaOH, and the aforementioned phosphates and / or phosphonates and / or phosphonic acids, at least in a predominant proportion.
- TiAlN does not dissolve in hydrogen peroxide solutions even at elevated temperatures. If the pH of the hydrogen peroxide solution is raised by metering in a base, such as NaOH, to the alkaline range with pH> 7, then TiAlN layers are also dissolved in addition to the mentioned TiN and TiCN layers. According to the invention, it was recognized that this is also the case at low process temperatures.
- alkaline hydrogen peroxide is the high level of process reliability with regard to corrosion of HSS material.
- HSS behaves very nobly in the Alaskan media. This means that there is no risk of corrosion for the HSS substrate even if longer stripping times would have to be used.
- the problem of the instability of alkaline hydrogen peroxide solutions in that an autooxidation of the hydrogen peroxide takes place, which is catalyzed by metal ions which are released into the solution during the stripping process, which in turn leads to overheating and boiling over of the stripping bath, according to the invention at least by the metering a phosphate and / or phosphonate and / or at least at least one phosphonic acid dissolved as a stabilizer.
- the decoating is accelerated by this addition, with regard to all the hard material layers mentioned.
- This metering improves the bath stability so that the decoating bath could be operated stably even at an elevated temperature.
- Heating and / or cooling can be provided to maintain the bath temperature; if necessary, the bath temperature is regulated to a desired value, with heating and / or cooling as an actuator.
- the bath service life is relatively short, normally between 1 and 3 batches, which of course is quite sufficient in certain cases.
- This relatively short bath life is due to the limited stability of polyphosphates.
- the stability of polyphosphates in alkaline solutions is only moderate, poor in acidic solutions.
- hydrolysis the polyphosphates are converted into orthophosphates, which are far less effective for stabilizing the peroxide solutions.
- the bath was heated to 60 ° C. and 500 pieces of 12 mm HSS end mill, coated with a TiAlN layer, were introduced into the solution. After 3 hours, the tools were completely stripped and the bath temperature remained stable at 60 ⁇ 2 ° C.
- Example III The temperature of the stripping solution was kept constant by heating / cooling to approximately 60 ° C., and 500 pieces of 12 mm HSS end mills, coated with a TiAlN layer, were introduced into the solution. After three hours, the tools were completely stripped and the bath temperature remained stable at 60 ⁇ 2 ° C. Several of the batches mentioned could be decoated in the same solution. Compared to the use of polyphosphates according to Example I, the belt life could be extended by a factor of 2 to 4.
- Example III Example III
- the advantages of the present invention are the simple solution composition, the simple process control and the short stripping time. With solution temperatures well below the boiling point, stripping can take place within a few hours. There is a high level of security with regard to corrosion on HSS substrates: because the decoating solution is alkaline, there is no corrosion of HSS.
- HSS substrates e.g. mixed with TiN, TiCN and / or TiAlN layers
- high volumes of solution e.g. of over 50 1 or even over 100 1
